Composting on Sept. 15

The Department of Public Works will host a composting event for Holden residents only 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15.

Leaves and grass clippings will be accepted at the former landfill at 560 River St. Brush chipping will be done at the Adams Road garage only, due to the Asian Longhorned Beetle regulated area.

Proof of residency required. The operation may cease sooner due to weather or capacity of the site.

Commercial loads not accepted – only cars, pick-up trucks and small trailers. Leaves and grass clippings brought to the site in bags and/or containers must be removed from the bags and/or containers and taken back home.

Brush is limited to branches with a diameter greater than one inch and less than six inches. No roots, stumps, bushes or briars. Any items determined by DPW personnel to be unacceptable must be taken home.
